Pavlova Kosher Recipe - Jewish Food And Cooking
Here's what you'll need:
- 4 large egg whites
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon of cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon of white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 cup of whipped cream
- Assorted fresh fruits (like strawberries, kiwis, and blueberries)
Now, let's get cooking!
1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
2. In a clean mixing bowl, crack the egg whites and separate them from the yolks. We only need the egg whites for this recipe, so you can save the yolks for another dish.
3. Using an electric mixer or a whisk, beat the egg whites until they become frothy. This means they will look bubbly and a bit foamy.
4. Gradually add the sugar to the egg whites, a little bit at a time, while continuing to beat. Keep beating until the mixture becomes thick and glossy. This might take a few minutes, so be patient!
5. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch, vinegar, and vanilla extract together. Then, gently fold this mixture into the egg white mixture. Folding means to gently stir in a circular motion, so we don't lose the air we've beaten into the egg whites.
6. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spoon the meringue mixture onto the parchment paper, shaping it into a round or oval shape. You can make it as big or small as you like!
7. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour. The pavlova should be crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Once it's done, turn off the oven and let it cool completely inside.
8. Once the pavlova has cooled, carefully transfer it to a serving plate. Top it with a generous amount of whipped cream and decorate with your favorite fresh fruits. Get creative and make it look beautiful!
